SCOPE AND LIMITATIONS
SCOPE OF THE STUDY:-
The present study is concerned with trends and changes in demand of the Verka
products, with particular emphasis on employee and consumer, in Punjab. The
study deals with trends, changes and differentials in consumer perception towards
the products of Verka and this shows effectiveness of advertisement of Verka
Products.
LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY:-
The study is limited in scope due to restraint of time and resources.
The study is based on primary data and the limitations of using primary
data may affect the results due to sample size taken.
Certain suggestions of the study have been made on the basis of the
researcher's observations and the discussions with the staff members of
the selected federations.
However, no systematic attempt was made to study this aspect in detail.
Restriction of sample size not to whole Punjab, so subsequent analysis could
not be generated.
The attitude of respondents also posed as another limitation. The attitude of
the respondents was not very helpful and I had faced many difficulties in the
filling of questions in the questionnaire that took longer than the usual.

SUGGESTIONS
Based on Survey and Findings, here are some of our Suggestions:-
Verka should focus more on advertisement of their productand should
increase budget for sales promotion policy.
Content of Advertisement of Verka products should be changed time to time
so that, new customer’s get attracted.
Verka should use ‘Tagline’ so that, products gets easy recognition.
More and more Hoardings as well as Posters should be hanged on roads and
highways.
Social Media platform should be used to advertise products. As today, Youth
remains engaged on social media.
27. 27 | P a g e
CONCLUSION
Most advertisements will provide consumers with a general idea of a product’s
features. For an advertisement to be effective, it must show enough to raise
curiosity. Consumers examine the features of your product. A logical listing of
features gives consumers an idea of functionality and works on an intellectual level
with the advertisement viewer.
Verka should focus more on sales promotion policy. From survey it is clear that
promotion need to be done. Although, products of Verka very much liked by
consumers and there are easily available. Verka also promotes social services as
they provide panjiri’s for children in Anganwadi’s which is also way of promoting
their brand.
Advertisement should be done more on social media as today, most of people use
social media such as facebook, instagram etc. Advertisement should be on
repetition so that products remains in the mind of people. As, good advertisement
increases sales and brand awareness. Consumers don’t want advertisements, yet, an
ad is a great way for consumers to find out about the products or services they do
need. Understanding the way advertising affects consumer behavior will help you
to create stronger, more memorable ads.
Ultimately, advertisement has long lasting impact on consumers mind so, Verka
need to be crictically focus on sales promotion policy.
